Hide a disk?

I tried that, but then the boot process sits around waiting for
the drive to spin up so it can see if it needs to fsck it.

That sounds like what I need (in fact I probably need that exact
policy file for other reasons - Fedora 8 doesn't include it, and
I get all the partitions I didn't mount showing up in /media,
which is also annoying - after all I didn't mount them on purpose :-).

I'll experiment with lshal, but I'd imagine I can match on
volume.label? I certainly know that string.
